We performed a comparison between Delphix and Quest SharePlex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, Broadcom, DATPROF and others in Test Data Management."Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It is a stable solution."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"It's really easy to install."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."
"The core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."
"I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool."
"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."
"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"GUI could be improved."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."
"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."
"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."
"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us."
"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."
Delphix is ranked 1st in Test Data Management with 15 reviews while Quest SharePlex is ranked 15th in Database Development and Management with 5 reviews. Delphix is rated 8.0, while Quest SharePlex is rated 9.0. The top reviewer of Delphix writes "Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Quest SharePlex writes "It reduces the downtime and migration time exponentially". Delphix is most compared with Informatica Test Data Management (TDM), Denodo, Broadcom Test Data Manager, IBM InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management (TDM) and Actifio, whereas Quest SharePlex is most compared with Oracle GoldenGate, AWS Database Migration Service, Qlik Replicate, Oracle Enterprise Manager and Fivetran.
